Pastor Steve's Popeye Page
November 14, 2006
As a kid growing up, I remember a truly amazing character I used to watch on TV. He was handicapped (apparently blind in one eye), was a chain smoker, and was prone to using violence to accomplish his aims. He had a girlfriend who was built like a stick who was the object of many bad guy's attempts at developing romantic relationships, hence many reasons for more violence. Oh, and there was one other enigmatic character: an infant whose lineage was unknown.
Of course, EVERYBODY loves Popeye the Sailor Man! I always enjoyed it when he had his fill of a situation (frequently beaten up by the bad guy), was completely desperate, and had to call on his old friend, a can of spinach. He could even suck it in through his ever-present pipe!
The music would start, his fists would turn into anvils or the like, and Bluto would go sailing through the air, courtesy of a spinach-spiked punch.
And once again, such a scene would never be shown in a newly-developed cartoon show aimed at kids for fear of turning them into violent adults, while at the same time graphic movie violence continues to set new marks in realism. (sigh)
Today's FamilyFirst site is called Pastor Steve's Popeye Page. Steve is clearly obsessed with Popeye, and obsessed folks create the best fansites!
Enjoy his well-thought-out ratings of the best and worst Popeye shorts. He has an opinion and isn't afraid to use it.
If this site doesn't make you want to go out and get a DVD full of Popeye cartoons, nothing will.
Remember, always fights to the finich.

Dear Beloved
Greetings you in the wonderful name of Jesus. I really praise God that he has privileged me to write this letter to you for your kind involvement in my ministry. I am a President and Founder, Mr. Peter. HOLY LAND MINISTRIES INDIA is a registered non-religious Charity,
There are many Orphan children, Aids, Leprosy children, and Hungry street children who have no accommodation, and are basically starving. We are not able to provide housing for these people, but we do take to the streets with food and utensils so these people won't die to starvation. It costs very little to feed many people Our Ministry consists of hunger, mockeries and persecutions.
We have been looking after 40 orphan, Aids and Street children. Every orphan child has a heart breaking history. We found them in a miserable and sympathetic condition. They lost their parents in cyclones, floods, fire accidents etc. We brought them to us to take care of them. In the beginning it was beyond our limits to console them. They slowly accustomed to our love and care. Our aim is to bring them up in Godliness and see that they are living witness to Jesus. Unfortunately our resources are very limited and so we are not able to feed them regularly two times a day. Some of them get up at mid nights and begin to cry, because they are hungry. For want of funds we are not able to give them sufficient food. At such times they get up from their plates with their half filled bellies. And so they seat o be gloomy and sick we have to provide them food, shelter, clothes, coverings send them to school and pay their medical bills. But it is very difficult for us to look after all these needs in these days of famine and soaring prices.
If there is a any regular support we will be able to feed the parentless hungry kids two times every day. You can help with your generous Donation in meeting their daily needs and establishing a safe and secure future for them. As the situation for the children is challenging, any donation, large or small, will improve their living conditions, their health, their daily routine, and their quality of life. Please stretch your hand of compassion to fill their bellies and wipe the tears on their tender cheeks as a godmother & godfather.
I really praise God he has raised such wonderful people like you for the extension of the kingdom of God. Please convey our heartily greetings to all who are Co-operating with you in your work. I await your kind reply hopefully and prayerfully.
Sincerely.
Mr. Peter (Founder and President)
